Just Another Day

For all those people who were touched in some way by Hurricane Sandy.



Cacophony of screams pour out of newspapers
Images of despair tumble on to my heart from TV
Mother Nature rage at its worst
Devastation in its wake.

Winds howling with gleeful fury
Darkness a reality, reminding us of it chasing us at every minute
Rain drowning all semblance of existence
Raging tears of nature seeping in homes of humanity.

In furious wrath of nature I see bent figures of human frailty
Fighting back, pushing aside the natures cruelty
Strength perseverance lining the grim faces
Death staring back from every corner.

World works amid this fearful devastation
Picking up pieces, walking up again on off beaten paths
Losses in heart, minds torn asunder
Grimm reaper's work all around them.

They are still up..
They are still struggling..
They are still gripping the reality.
Not letting themselves to be fazed by tragedies

They are putting the last bit of energy
To rescue the lost, revive the dead
World watching over the tragic end
Prayers are on lips of ever human
Indeed just another day staring back at us on this earth.
